Giving Back

About a week or so ago I was asked by a good friend of mine, April Campion, if I wouldn't mind taking some behind the scenes images of a video project her and her crew from Regent University was working on for St. Mary's Home for Disabled Children here in Virginia Beach, Va. The video footage she shot and the still images I took were going to be used to help advertise St. Mary's 21st Annual 5K run which is taking place on the 3 October. Doing this to me was a no brainer... it was for a worthy cause, plus I'm a firm believer in giving back to the community.

I was only able to stay for a couple of hours, but the time that I was able to spend there left a lasting impression on me. The staff at the home had a real passion for helping children and the children, though disabled, had a true passion for living. So many emotions... so many stories to tell...I definitely have to come back to St. Mary's.
